ePassporte Revealed

[zeppy]

Pokerstars and FullTilt and AP and UB have been aware
longer than they will admit of ePassporte not being able
to process deposits or withdrawl transactions.

FullTilt actually held up the sending/approving of
payout requests to ePassporte until ePassporte 'assured'
FullTilt that the technical problems would be resolved.

Pokerstars has threatened to cease transactions
with ePassporte in the very near future.

ePassporte uses a 3rd Party Processor which is
affilated with and is controlled by ePassporte.

Now for the bad news: This payment processor which
handles transactions for ePassporte along with individuals
working for both ePassporte and their processor have removed
funds being held in escrow pending transaction completion.

The funds for these deposits and withdrawl transactions
cannot be retreived. Poker Stars and Full Tilt have
already been advised by ePassporte Security of the missing
funds and assured that the problems would be resolved.

The only public explanation of the above from ePassporte
to it's customers has been that "ePassporte is having
technical problems and are working hard to resolve this
matter, we appreciate your patience"
ePassporte has not yet come up with the missing funds
and has no plans of returning them at this time to either their
customers or merchants.

ePassporte is anticipating its exit from the online
poker segment as ePassporte is directly impacted by the
regulations just issued this past week.
Under current UIEGA law signed last year ePassporte
is now actively in violation of US law.

The ePassporte corporate headquarters are located
in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Their sales and marketing
offices are in Toronto Canada, and they have an office in
southern California.

Christopher Mallick is owner and CEO of Epassporte.
He has been sued for securities fraud and negligent
misrepresentation.
U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, August Term, 1999
(Argued: May 15, 2000 Decided: May 08, 2001)
Docket No. 99-9042
---------
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
August Term 2000
Argued: March 19, 2001 Decided: July 19, 2001
Docket No. 00-7803
----------------------

Christopher Mallick was fired as CEO from a company
called Paycom. Paycom was one of the largest online credit
card processing companies. Paycom let Mr Mallick go for
mishandling, misappropriating ( ie stealing ) company
assets. Large amounts of money, a LearJet, high rolling,
and hookers paid for with Paycoms money were some of the
evidence used against Mr Mallick upon his dismissal from
Paycom. Mallick in his prior career filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Christopher Mallick earlier this year launched Oxymoron
Entertainment a $50 million venture. He is aiming
to finance films in the $2 million to $10 million range.

This film venture he launched in February has bled
money and been very unprofitable to date and is in need
of a cash infusion. Epassport funds have been redirected
to this venture as he is the owner and controller of both.

Epassporte has primarily been involved in the gambling
and porn industry. Mr Mallick has a very shady past.
He has however been kind enough to donate money to
the prevention for the sexual exploitation of children
which help to abate the claims that Mr Mallicks company
helps to fund exploitation of these same children
via porn addicts who access content via Epassporte.

The Current Better Business Bureaus (BBB) Rating
for Epassporte is an F, the lowest rating possible
out of a 10-point scale, which corresponds to the
following description:
Quote from (BBB) "We strongly question the company's
reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to
respond to complaints. Their advertising is grossly
misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's
licensing or registration requirements, their complaints
contain especially serious allegations, or the company's
industry is known for its fraudulent business practices."

Note to ePassporte staff, you were advised of information being
